Yay..another urban-themed crime simulator. Such innovation, such an interesting genre and setting, such mind-numbing boredom. UGH.

I remember reading about this game a long time ago. I can't believe it's still got another year in development. The whole cops vs. robbers premise is interesting, but they really don't reveal all that much about the actual gameplay. I just don't see how they can put a GTA like game into a MMO setting. You have to be a level 42 thug to jack the sports car?! Split characters into classes where one guy can jack the cars, and another has all the heavy weaponry? Why play this when there will be Quake Wars?

I don't know, and the interview definitely didn't shed many answers. I'll let the game fade back into obscurity for a while, and maybe the next time we hear of it, there will be something more substantive to read about.

Wow...throughout the entire interview the guy answers every question in a sarcastic/snobbish tone and keeps hyping it all up like it's going to be the coolest thing ever. However, he never once gives an actual example of something the game can do, or how it's different from GTA or any other MMORPG. He just says, oh yeah, it's different.

This game is on track for Daikatana levels of disappointment, lol.
